Chapter 687 (Page 1/2)
Seeing that her youngest son's mood was gradually improving, Lin Man finally showed a relieved smile on her face.
She gently instructed Huo Qingci who was standing beside her: "Qingci, the job of moving the piano is left to you. I'll go upstairs first." After that, she turned around and hurried upstairs back to the space.
After entering the space, Lin Man walked straight to the area where items were placed, took out the strawberries pickled in sugar, carefully placed them on the baking tray, and put them into the oven one by one.
After adjusting the appropriate temperature and baking time, she walked towards the chicken coop without stopping.
It had been four or five days since she had picked up eggs. When Lin Man walked into the chicken coop, she was shocked by the scene in front of her - the ground was covered with white eggs!
She bent down and began to carefully pick up the eggs, one, two... Soon, the basket was full of eggs. After counting, there were actually more than a hundred eggs!
In fact, Lin Man only raised fifty-six chickens in this space.
Among them, there are twenty-six hens. She deliberately left two strong roosters as breeding hens, and the rest were all castrated broiler chickens.
I didn't expect to harvest such a large number of eggs in just a few days. Adding the eggs I had stored earlier, I roughly estimated there must be around 200 eggs.
Looking at the full basket of eggs, Lin Man couldn't help but feel worried: when she was in Beijing, she would send some eggs to her mother-in-law from time to time. Now she had accumulated so many eggs and couldn't eat them all.
After much thought, she decided to take some time tomorrow to use these eggs to make some delicious preserved eggs, which would be perfect for enjoying during the Chinese New Year.
In this way, Lin Man was busy shuttling around in every corner of the space, sometimes picking vegetables in the vegetable garden, and sometimes feeding livestock and poultry.
Unconsciously, an hour passed quickly. Just as she was about to leave the space, she suddenly heard a light knock on the door.
Lin Man flashed out of the space, walked quickly to the door, and reached out to open the door lock.
Huo Yixin was standing outside the door with a big smile on her face, and she said excitedly, "Mom, Dad has already asked someone to help move the piano downstairs!"
Hearing this news, Lin Man nodded happily and responded: "Well, this way, you won't feel so cold when you practice piano in the future."
"Mom, Dad said he's packed and we can go shopping. Grandpa has also come downstairs."
Lin Man closed the door casually and said, "Let's go!"
Huo Qingci saw Lin Man slowly coming down from upstairs and hurried to meet her. He said with a concerned look on his face, "Manman, it's cold and windy outside. You'll definitely catch a cold if you go out like this. Why don't you go upstairs and take off your scarf and gloves and put them on."
Lin Man smiled and nodded in agreement. Before she could respond, Huo Yiwen suddenly rushed in front of her like a whirlwind, raised his head, and said with sparkling eyes, "Mom, let me help you get it upstairs!"
Lin Man naturally understood her youngest son's desire to be close to her. Her heart warmed, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She praised him softly:
"My Wenwen is such a sensible and well-behaved child. Thank you for making the trip. Mommy's scarf and gloves are on the left side of the closet."
Hearing his mother's praise, Huo Yiwen was extremely happy and excited as if he had a tail wagging happily behind him.

He pouted his little mouth high in the air, and shouted proudly, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll get it for you right away!"
Before he finished speaking, the small figure strode up the stairs like an arrow and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Looking at her son's receding back, Lin Man couldn't help but chuckle and shook her head gently, secretly sighing in her heart: This little guy has actually learned to compete for favor with his brothers and sisters.
In fact, there are many children in the family. Although they get along very well on weekdays, there are still some small conflicts occasionally due to some trivial matters.
The question of whether parents are partial to their children has been a difficult problem that has been difficult to solve throughout the ages.
No matter how hard parents try to treat all their children fairly, there will always be one child who feels they are not being loved enough and complains, "Mom and Dad are partial!"
The only key to solving this problem is for parents to have only one child. If there is only one child in the family, this conflict will never occur.
Not long after, Huo Yiwen came downstairs with Lin Man's scarf and gloves. Lin Man quickly tied the scarf and put on the gloves.
The others also prepared to go out. Everyone skillfully tied the scarf around the collar tightly and put on the gloves tightly on their hands. After everything was ready, they locked the door and embarked on this unknown journey.
Because Huo Qingci's rank was not high enough, the unit had not yet allocated him a separate car, so for this trip they could only take the tram that was unique to Hai City.
After getting on the bus, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Finally arriving at the tram stop, Huo Qingci was the first to carefully support his grandfather and slowly get off the car. Then the other children got off the bus one by one in an orderly manner, and Lin Man followed at a leisurely pace at the end of the group.
When everyone got off the bus safely, they couldn't help but be attracted by the prosperous and lively scene before them.
Looking at the bustling and crowded streets, Huo Qingci turned to look at his grandfather beside him and asked softly, "Grandpa, should we go shopping in the department store first? Or should we go directly to the Bund to enjoy the magnificent Huangpu River?"
Huo Li smiled and waved his hand gently, then said slowly, "I've just taken a rough look around the area in the car, but I didn't find anything particularly attractive.
Besides, it’s so cold today, we must not let the children get frozen! So in my opinion, let’s just walk around here and have a look around, and then we can go to the department store later.”
Hearing this, someone nearby chimed in, "That's fine. There's a shadow puppet house not far ahead. We can take the children there and let them watch some interesting shadow puppetry."
When he heard there was a shadow puppet house ahead, the lively and active Huo Yiwen immediately came over excitedly, blinking his big watery eyes, looking up at his father with anticipation, and asked curiously:
"Dad, is the shadow play any good? Will it be as interesting as those wonderful cartoons on TV? I've grown up and I've never seen a real shadow play."
Seeing his son's innocent and eager look, Huo Qingci couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and touched the little guy's head, and gently replied, "Wenwen, you'll have to wait until you go and see it yourself to know the answer to this question."
